That opening could be in the Guinness World Records or something.To make matters worse, the movie played in just that one location in the United Kingdom. However, the Hollywood Reporter noted that a simultaneous on-demand releasemitigated the theatrical run.Still, thats quite a comedown for an actor who has appeared in hits such as Transformers and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.Man Down, featuring LaBeouf as a traumatized Marine who returns home from Afghanistan and searches for his estranged wife and son, received a 15 percent review score on Rotten Tomatoes.The indie movie, directed by Dito Montile, made $454,490 stateside in a limited December theatrical run.Mental Floss noted that LaBeouf has flop company. The Katherine Heigl thriller Zyzzyx Road grossed a measly $30 after a one-week run at a Dallas movie theater in 2006.And the Guardian reports that BritishHarry Potter starEmma Watsonappeared in a movie called The Colony (aka Colonia) that attracted fewer than 10 patrons in its opening weekend in the U.K. last July while it debuted simultaneously on digital platforms.But still ' one ticket' -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
